To be the Great Distributing Point.

The people of Bismarck were BOOM
ing the country west of the rlver long
before there was Il railroad track in
that section--before Mandan was
thought of and before the scven-up
editor of the Pioneer knew there was
such Il country. When Dickinson
was started it Was Bismarck men and
Bismarck capital that helped push the
the town to the front. Iettinger
county's settlement and other colo
MES now going into that region have
been encouraged by Bismarck, and
even north of Norton county. in Oil
yer and Mercer. Bismarck capital and
enterprise is at work, both in farm
lands and townsites. Bismarck is to
be the great distributing point for all
this stretch of country west Of the
river and wants to see it peopled.
Bismarck encourages settlement in
Stark, uettinger, Oliver OF Mercer
counties just as much as it does i'll
any county east of the river. Bis

In his testimony before the Pacific
Railroad Investigating Commission
Senator Stanford paraphrascd Twced's
question, "What are you going to do
do about it!" The following excerpt
from the testimony shows the extra
ordinary insolcnce of the Central Pa
ciiic ''boss" in his attempt to defy the
government and thwart investigation
into the frauds and swindles of the
corporation over which he prcsides:
''IIave the said companies or either
of them, OF their officers OF agents,
paid any money or other valuable con-
sideration, OF done amy other act OF
thing for the purpose of influencing
legislation"
The answer WAS: NO reduction will
be made from that portion of the net
earnings belonging to the United
States OH account of amy. expenditures
for which detailed and satisfactory
vouchers are not furnished"
"That is not answering the ques-
tion, said Gov. Pattison. "IIas the
company spent amy money to influence
legislation!"
Gov. Stanford said: 81 have answer
ed the question. What we Ito with
money that the Government does not
share in Oh what We do not charge up
to it needs no answer.
Does the Pacific Railroad Invcsti-
eating Commission propose to he
snubbed and delird i'm this insolent
name by Stanford and his associates
i'll the ring of overfel stock %glnttons!
1t is the imperative duty of the COM
mission to probe to the bottom the
bribery of members of Congress and
Government officials by the Pacific
roads and report all the facts to Con-
greSS ut the next session. If nccessa-
ry in order to get ut the truth the
thumbscrews should be put on Stan
ford and he should receive just the
treatment awarded any other rccalci-
trant and impudent witness.--Chicago

ONE of the important things left
undone by the last legislature was the
failure to pass Il stringent law protect
ing the people from imposition by
wild cat insurance companies; llowev-
er the legislature. in creating the
Office of public examiner and making
it his duty to look into the standing
and solidity of corporations, in a
measure atoned for it's failure to pass
a stringent insurance law and he may
succeed in wedding out the rotten
companies now doing business in the
territory, yet the laXity of the law in
permitting such insurance compa-
MES to start in Dakota is very clear
to any II who has looked the matter
up. AS an Illustration we might re-
fer to the defunct Fargo concern
that opened up for business with such
a flourish and collapsed a short time
ago after receiving thousands of dol
lars i'll premiums from the people.
That company never had anything
that you could recover a dollar on.
The Pierre institution was another
instance and we have heard Il great
deal about the Transcontinental Fire
and Marine, of Mandan, as being one
of the same class, that "the promoters
are men who have no MEANS" etc. 1t
is not our desire to run down any i'll
%stitution in Dakota that is in any
way worthy of patronage, on the 9TH
Ell hand, we believe in fostering and
patronizing home institutions, SO long
as they are solid and trustworthy,
Such quotations as the above are III
circulation regarding the Mandar
company, and in justice to it, as vel
as the people of Dakota in general, we
would respectfully ask r. NJ. futile
editor Of the Mandan Pioneer anC
secretary of the above company, tt
state the rating of the concern ant
whether they have, in u bonaiidt
manner complied with the laws of til,
territory as they exist Oh the statute
books! If he fails to do 81
and should the charges that al,
being made against 1.-THE financia
standing of the company, prove cor
rect. we shall deem it our duty, il
protecting the people against being
defrauded, to go as far as possible il
exposing this or any other institution
within the borders of the territory
AS we said before, the public examin
Ell may do a great deal towards weed
ing out rotten companies and protect
ing the people and under the circum
stances we believe a strict examinat'l
into the affairs of the Mandan compa
ny would not be amiss. If it is IL fl
nancially solid institution, has com
piled with the law and is in condition
to do business. then an examination
would be of great benefit to it as vel
as the public, and if not good. TIL
public should know it. The Press /
published for the people, is thei
friend and wishes to protect then
against all kinds of frauds. 1t G,
posed the Fargo company long befor
it went to the wall and notwithstant
ing the fact that its officers threaten
ed to sue us for damage unless we l.,
tracted, we retracted nothing and til

tor up dropped their talk about dams
